Im not much of a tram fan and was planning on placing static W types here and there where appropriate.
The object count is getting quite high on the suburban tiles "1100 to 1200 objects per tile" so we will have to see what we can do.

Hi The unsteamlined "S" shapes are already finished just awaiting better skins. The route at the moment will be ending at Mangalore or Avenel BUT will be including other regional centers such as Warragul Bendigo Ballarat and Geelong. There will also be quite a fair portion of the Suburban area inclu...
Hi Zec the name and numbers are a bit big but I have now scaled them down. Is that what you mean? The screenies are of a real early version that has been lurking on my PC for almost 2 years and was originally made by Matt but he has handed the reigns over to me with this one and I have rebuilt it vi...

Wallan was the classification yard for the Junction a few miles up the track with the Heathcote branch line and was apar...
Hi Ian I wouldnt like to hit anything bigger than a sheep in one of these. Apart from the smell :o :o , They only came in at 20 tons and a larger beast such as beef might certainly wreck the whole show and make for a most exciting ride for the driver and passengers down the 5 foot. Superheated steam...
Hi Jon it does look like a bit of a scammell doesnt it! It was even powered by a gardiner 153 hp diesel motor with a manual gearbox. A Brief history of the 153 thanks to the Daylesford preservation railway. After the Second World War, the Victorian Railways were in a very run down condition. A major...
Over this weekend I have been working on a 153 Hp walkers Railmotor. No Branch line would be complete without 1 or 2 of these!

Over the last 3 days Team Alco has attended the Sandown model railway exhibition in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Well what can I say. It turned out to be a great show with many old and new aquaintances being met again, new friendships forged and a lot of fun had by all. Judging from the depth o...
